How many digits will there be to the right of the decimal in the answer for the problem below? 2.35 x 4.523 (1 point) Responses 2 2 3 3 4 4 5 5

Answer 1

To determine how many digits will be to the right of the decimal in the product \( 2.35 \times 4.523 \), we first count the number of decimal places in each of the numbers being multiplied.

• \( 2.35 \) has 2 decimal places.
• \( 4.523 \) has 3 decimal places.

When multiplying two decimal numbers, the total number of decimal places in the product is the sum of the decimal places of the two numbers. Thus, we add the decimal places:

\[ 2 + 3 = 5 \]

So, the product \( 2.35 \times 4.523 \) will have 5 digits to the right of the decimal point.

Therefore, the answer is 5.
